About Champion
Champion, Power, designed by Peter Bergting first released in April 2006 in the set Nights of Reckoning.
Champion best fits a combat-oriented Imbued toolbox or wall deck that runs several Imbued, generates conviction reliably, and wants to punish opposing vampires or other minions for attacking it or its allies; it is particularly useful when your Imbued are strong in combat, since it both stops the original action and forces the attacker into a fight. However, its two-conviction cost and narrow requirement make it less generally useful than broader defensive options such as Deflection or Telepathic Misdirection for redirecting actions, or Second Tradition: Domain in a vampire-based deck, while combat decks may prefer dedicated prevention or strike cards that work more often.
